Thermochemistry : SystemSurrExoEndo (4 Variations)
Sulfuric acid is added to water in a beaker and the resulting solution is much warmer than either the water or acid was initially.
Identify the following items as being part of the system or the surroundings, and indicate whether the process is exothermic or endothermic.

Thermochemistry : BombCalorimeter (4 Variations)
Stearic acid (CH3(CH2)16CO2H) is a fatty acid, the part of fat that stores most of the energy. 1.00 g of stearic acid was burned in a bomb calorimeter. The bomb had a heat capacity of 652 J/oC and a 500. g water reservoir. If the temperature rose from 25.0 to 39.3 oC, how much heat was released when the stearic acid was burned?

Thermochemistry : CoffeeCupCalorimeter (2 Variations)
A block of copper is heated to {x} °C and then is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing {y} g of water at 25.0 °C. The final temperature of the system is 45.1 °C. What is the mass of the copper block to the nearest gram? (Assume all heat is transferred to the water). Write your answer in the box, and do NOT include units.

Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.383 J/(g*°C)

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/(g*°C)

Thermochemistry : FuelAmpWattHeat (4 Variations)
Gasoline has an enthalpy of combustion of approximately 24000 kJ/gallon. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, approximately 30% of the energy released is used to produce mechanical work. The remainder is lost as heat transfer to the engine's cooling system and eventually the atmosphere. As a start on estimating how much heat transfer is required, calculate what mass of water could be heated from 25 to 100oC by the combustion of 1.0 gallon of gasoline in an automobile.

Consider the graph above. Which of these substances has the highest specific heat capacity?

Thermochemistry : HeatCapacityLiq (4 Variations)
100 g of water (c=4.184 J/g.oC), 100 g of ethanol (c=2.46 J/g.oC), 100 g of carbon tetrachloride (c=0.861 J/g.oC), and 100 g of ethylene glycol (c=2.42 J/g.oC) at 50oC were each placed into a separate coffee cup calorimeter and the temperature recorded. The temperature of the surroundings was 20oC. After one hour the temperature of which substance would have changed by the largest amount? Assume that the rate of heat transfer from the coffee cup to the surroundings was the same in each case.

In an experiment, 50 g of a metal was heated to 100oC and placed in 200 g of a liquid at 25oC. Which of the following combinations of metal and liquid will produce the largest temperature increase in the liquid? (Assume that there is no transfer of energy to the surroundings.)

Thermochemistry : CalcHHessLaw (8 Variations)
The industrial process for making sulfuric acid has three steps. Using the data given, calculate the enthalpy change for the overall reaction for the process (the equation is given below).

In an experiment a block of aluminum was heated to 100oC and placed in 200 g of water at 25oC. If the final temperature of the system is 43oC, and no heat transfer to the surroundings occurred, what is the mass of the aluminum block?

Thermochemistry : PhaseChanges (8 Variations)
Steam at 100oC is condensed by an ice-water mixture at 0oC. Assuming that there is still ice present when the process is over, how much ice will be melted if 10.0 g of steam is condensed? The following may be useful:enthalpy of vaporization of water = 40.7 kJ/mol; enthalpy of fusion of water = 6.07 kJ/mol; specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g•K.
